No computer clock is ever perfect, which is why we have Network Time Protocol. :-) If your desktop or laptop completely looses its time when you turn it off, the CMOS battery is dead/dieing and needs to be replaced.
I would recommend using ntpd running as a daemon to manage the clock on both your desktop and laptop. Directions for installing and configuring NTP for debian/ubuntu are available at http://wiki.debian.org/NTP. The ntpd daemon will sync your computer's clock with internet sources and keep it closely aligned over time. --[Lance] -- GPG Fingerprint: 409B A409 A38D 92BF 15D9 6EEE 9A82 F2AC 69AC 07B9 CACert.org Assurer _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list clug-talk@clug.ca http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
